Our Equilibrium is a company created to build a sporting community app that supports and educates athletes as they navigate the complexities of transitioning to a life beyond sport.

Whether through injury, retirement, or contract termination, the end of a sporting career can be devastating, often leaving athletes lost as they contemplate their next steps.

Led by former athletes and industry experts, the Our Equilibrium app provides the tools, knowledge, and community needed to recover, rebuild, and thrive in their next chapter.

Founder Mark Kelly knows these struggles firsthand. At just 17 he made his Irish international debut and quickly established himself as a regular in Portsmouth’s first team. Tipped for greatness, Mark was on the verge of a dream move to Tottenham Hotspur before a horrific knee injury altered the course of his life.

With no support from the sports’ governing body, Mark was left to face the psychological, financial and emotional challenges of a career-ending injury on his own with nowhere to turn.

After some time, volunteering in India, he returned to the UK and perused a coaching career in football, as this was the only thing he knew with no other alternative.

Progressing through the coaching system, Mark eventually became the Academy Manager of his former club Portsmouth FC. During his tenure, he witnessed countless players, face the same traumas he once did, still without any support or guidance.

Determined to finally address the issues and trauma experienced, Our Equilibrium was created with a clear mission; to provide the support, guidance and opportunities that so many athletes have been denied, as they transition to a life beyond sport.
